Foundation Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer at the Parks Foundation!

The Kent County Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building, expanding, and sustaining Kent County parks. The foundation raises funds to help the Kent County Parks Department carry out its mission which is to enhance the quality of life in Kent County by establishing and maintaining outstanding parks to meet the needs of the county’s growing population.
